I attend the Big Ten Men's Tournament every year. I will be in Indianapolis this March once again. I hear the opposite comment about Big Ten Officials. They let too much go. Someone once told me that "this is why we can never get teams to advance in the NCAA Tournament, the game is not called like that in the tournament." Well the funny thing, the Big Ten has the most (or at least did) Final Four appearences than any other conference. And that year this comment was made, Indiana went to the Championship game against Maryland.

The moral of this story, fans complain to complain. It does not matter what the reality is or if it is based on anything concrete, they just complain. The bottom line is that all fans think the officials are terrible. I am sure you hear similar things in the other major and minor conferences.

Peace
